Bull Tahr wall pedestal mount

[Tim Blackwell]

G'day all,
In October late last year I fulfilled a long term goal taking a great 13" free range bull tahr in New Zealand.

I've now got the mount finished and on the wall, and thought I'd share some pics.

VERY NICE!! Please post a photo of him on the pedestal when you get time. What rifle did you to take him?

Thank you mate. It's a wall ped style form so is wall mounted.

I took him with a T3 Superlite 7mm Rem Mag from 265yd uphill. Topped with a Z3 Swaro 4-12x50 ballistic turret it makes quite a good mountain rifle.

It's a long story but it was my third tahr hunt in 9 years and due to poor weather and poor luck I had to leave behind two unrecoverable bulls on the first two hunts, but neither as good as this guy. So I was super happy to finally get him on the deck in the last hour of the last day of our recent hunt!

Unfortunately my trophy room needs expansion so I really don't have room to do him justice at the moment.

Cheers
Tim

I had the plans approved 18 months ago but keep booking African hunts instead

Awesome looking tahr! Makes me more anxious than ever to go back to NZ and try again.

Great tahr, excellent bull. Top job on the taxidermy.

Nice bull and mount. It's getting pretty crowded in that room!

Cheers mate. It is getting a bit ridiculous. The other two walls are just as bad
